What I'm Thankful For

I’m thankful for the life I’ve lived so far and for the changes I’m going to make along the way.

There are so many things in life to be thankful for.

Sometimes, we take for granted the things we shouldn’t. Like my favorite short story, “The Mayonnaise Jar and 2 Cups of Coffee” says, if we worry about all the little things in life, we won’t have room for anything else. Things like family and friends, significant others, and the pleasures of life. Those precious moments should be cherished and held onto.

I’m thankful for my friends. Old and new, each has a special place in my heart. They have taught me that no matter what, I’ll always have a shoulder to cry on. No matter what life has thrown at me, I’ve always known I had you by my side.

Thank you for having my back and giving me a hand to hold.

I’m thankful for my family. If it weren’t for them, I wouldn’t be the person I am today. They have led me through life and taught me what I needed to know. They have given me the strength to persevere and chase after my dreams. I have learned so much, but I still have so much more to learn.

Thank you for giving me this wonderful life of unconditional love and happiness.

I’m thankful for my relationship. It has shown me what love really means. Yes, there have been hiccups and a few bumps in the road, but I know that you will always love and support me through each endeavor. Since the day I met you, I knew I could trust you.

Thank you for showing me how trust and love intertwine beautifully.

I’m thankful for the chance I was given to work with kids. Working with kids has given me a new outlook on life. They are the strongest little people with the biggest hearts. No matter what kind of day your having, you can always count on them to make you smile. I was given the best possible classroom and the most amazing campers in my time working with kids.

I’m thankful for the life I’ve lived so far and for the changes I’m going to make along the way.

What I've Learned About Friendship During My First Year Of High School

Friendship isn't always as easy as it's made out to be.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

25 Things I Want My Younger Cousins To Know

A little advice for my original best friends

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
